From: Greg KH To: torvalds@osdl.org, akpm@osdl.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [BK PATCH] Driver Core patches for 2.6.10-rc1 Hi, Here are a few minot driver core changes for 2.6.10-rc1 that were laying around and didn't make it in the last big batch of merges. Most of these have been in the -mm tree for a while now. No, they don't include the backing store sysfs patches, I'll get to those next week. I'll be in the same building as Maneesh, so I know he'll be hounding me about them... :) Oh, and these patches will cause the wait_for_sysfs program in udev to start spiting out a lot more warnings. It's not a bug in the kernel, it's a userspace issue. I'll get that fixed up in the next udev release. Please pull from: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/linux/driver-2.6 thanks, greg k-h p.s. I'll send these as patches in response to this email to lkml for those who want to see them. drivers/base/bus.c | 4 +-- drivers/base/class.c | 4 +-- drivers/base/core.c | 2 - drivers/base/cpu.c | 2 + drivers/firmware/efivars.c | 2 - drivers/pci/hotplug/pci_hotplug_core.c | 2 - fs/char_dev.c | 4 +-- fs/sysfs/dir.c | 2 - include/linux/kobject_uevent.h | 1 kernel/cpu.c | 35 ---------------------------- kernel/module.c | 2 - lib/Kconfig.debug | 7 +++++ lib/Makefile | 7 ++++- lib/kobject.c | 4 --- lib/kobject_uevent.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++------------- 15 files changed, 53 insertions(+), 65 deletions(-) ----- Andrew Morton: o kobject_uevent warning fix o kobject_hotplug: permit no hotplug_ops Anil Keshavamurthy: o remove cpu_run_sbin_hotplug() Greg Kroah-Hartman: o hotplug: prevent skips in sequence number from happening o kobject: add CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT Stephen Hemminger: o avoid problems with kobject_set_name and name with % o cdev: protect against buggy drivers
